About Raqresha
Raqresha Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who uses a person-focused approach to help people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can talk about what matters and make small changes that add up over time.
She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are also offered to reduce overwhelm and build calm in daily life.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want and take steady steps toward it. Raqresha has three years of professional experience and aims to make the first steps easier for those new to therapy. She encourages honest conversation about emotions and goals, and she listens without judgment.
Her style is warm and direct, focusing on what each person needs in the moment. In addition to common concerns like depression and anxiety, she helps people with communication problems, impulsivity, issues tied to intellectual disability, and struggles around self-love. She also supports young adults facing life transitions and identity questions, including LGBT-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in a range of online formats, which lets people choose what fits their life. Raqresha works with clients to set clear goals and practical steps, checking progress as therapy continues.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental attention so people feel understood and can decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or low mood, then tests new ways of thinking and behaving to produce different results. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to notice stress and calm the body, which can be useful for anger and overwhelming anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust plans based on what helps. That means you and the therapist work together to find tools that match your needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video sessions let you see facial cues and work more interactively, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule regular work on goals and to use therapy in ways that fit your routine.
